I wanted to see what the top action cameras were as we start the new year. This list is mostly made up from Amazon sales rankings, but also I looked at reviews around the web and those will be noted as well.
Two questions I had were:
What is the best alternative to GoPro? and
What is the best action camera for the money?
Two questions I had were:
What is the best alternative to GoPro? and
What is the best action camera for the money?
The list I pulled together includes affordable action cams but at the end I had to include the GoPro as an option because it is one of the best, but not cheapest..
These are the small action/sport cameras that are popular today. You find vloggers, athletes, people who want to film everything they do using this type of camera.

There are so many choices nowadays for a small action cam that it can be hard to choose. Go with a leader in the segment such as GoPro and you will have to pay a premium. There are solid cameras available at affordable prices which is why it’s worth looking at some of the best sellers as a place to start your research..
